（单词翻译）

[00:00.00]he young man overheard the servant
[00:02.55]talking to the evil man and just as the King
[00:05.19]was about to drink,
[00:07.13]he grabbed the cup and drank the poison himself
[00:10.63]He almost died  but due to a magic potion,
[00:13.64]he survived and was made one
[00:15.67]of the King's Arthur's knights¹.
[00:18.80]I practised hard,
[00:20.06]imagining how much I would impress everyone
[00:22.45]with my juggling² skill.
[00:24.64]Unfortunately,
[00:25.94]what I had planned didn't actually happen.
[00:30.63]On the night of the performance,
[00:32.11]the hall was packed.
[00:33.45]Everyone  I knew was out there--
[00:35.16]even the mayor of our town,
[00:37.10]a man who scared me because
[00:38.44]he was always frowning.
[00:40.47]I walked to the centre of the stage and waited
[00:42.97]nervously for the curtain to go up.
[00:45.39]Up it went and I was suddenly staring
[00:48.03]at eight blazing suns.
[00:50.35]I couldn't see a thing!
[00:52.55]What the audience saw was a hesitant kid
[00:55.02]in a clown's costume,
[00:56.82]squinting at the spot lights.
[00:58.38]Taking a deep breath, I started.
[01:02.19]My first trick was a three ball
[01:03.84]behind the back movement.
[01:05.76]I threw the balls over my shoulder
[01:08.12]and I grabbed wildly at the eight circles
[01:10.44]I could see.
[01:11.87]Only one of them happened to be a ball.
